One of the letters I wrote my Nana I forgot to send and I still have it.<br /><br />I remember writing letters to my friends in high school-now that's really showing my age...lol<br /><br />I really hope the art of hand writing doesn't become obsolete because when you think about how much schooling and society has changed if phoning someone or emailing is too much hassle. What hope does handwriting have? Quicker isn't always better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17756291509110723512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5202162213386349739.post-33321741506945624892011-11-12T20:42:49.004+10:002011-11-12T20:42:49.004+10:00Renee, what a truly inspired post!

I was always an avid letter writer and like you, some of my most precious keepsakes from my grandparents are their beautifully written letters from their farm to their grandaughter in the city states away. I also fostered a post bag full of pen pals in Europe through the International Youth penpal scheme when a in school. Almost 30 years on and I am still close friends with four of them. We have visited each other dozens of times; the friendship has endured thanks to the humble introduction via letters. Why do I like letter writing? You can't smell the perfume sprayed on an email and you can't measure a persons personality from times roman font. Handwriting, no matter how dreadful, is an artform.DimbutNicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13096525380334377442noreply@blogger.com
